Dr. Alan Kurschner explained how the enigmatic passage in  Matthew 27:52–53 is eschatological illuminating to 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18.

When Jesus returns it will not unfold how the Left Behind movies portray it, nor will it be how amillennialists portray it as some amorphous, instantaneous event where everything is ushered into the eternal state.

Rather, God will be glorified as he "shows off" his power through many events, especially the resurrection of the saints on earth as a testimony to the world before they are raptured to the sky where Jesus will be, where he then pours out his day of the Lord's wrath on this evil world.

Listen to find out how Dr. Kurschner explains the link between Matthew's gospel on the resurrection and Paul's eschatological teaching in his first Thessalonian epistle.
